Often Christian religious leaders have been silent
about how to recognize, name and describe the difference
between perverse and healthy:
1. Friendships, openness, honesty, intimacies and
pleasures.
2. Rules, regulations, prescriptions, proscriptions,
commandments disciplines.
3. Affirmations, denials, professions, confessions,
beliefs, doubts, assertions, demands, and dominations.
Often such silence has been associated with behaviors
on the part of Christian religious leaders which can
reasonably be regarded as being supportive of "The
Domination System" of their times and communal contexts.
We will do well and be well when we can openly name,
describe and talk about such occasions of silence and
domination.
We need to help each other to recognize the
complicated ways in which people's motivations can get all
mixed together in regards to:
1. Sincere efforts to be helpful.
2. Dedication to properly maintaining law and order.
3. Dedication to principles of ethics and morality.
4. Commitment to basic religious principles.
5. Loyalty to friends, family, tribe, city & state.
6. Loyalty to drinking buddies.
7. Loyalty to denominational ties and beliefs.
8. Loyalty to collusive games of mutual deception.
9. Loyalty to our side in battles.
10. Respect for legitimately elected leaders.
